Oscilloscope Display Options

Display Options

  • Autoscale
    Autoscale enables the vertical scale to be set automatically, which can make it easier to keep the live signal(s) visible in the plot. Sometimes, when a measurement doesn't appear as expected, setting Autoscale to Auto can solve the problem. When autoscale is off, the vertical scale of the plot can be manually adjusted by a two-finger pinch gesture within the axis label region of the plot.
  • Amplitude Scale
    Tap on Amplitude Scale to select a vertical scale for the plot in units per division. Autoscale will be turned off. Each selected channel can have units assigned independent of other channels, so the scale will be set independent of any specific units.
  • Time Scale
    Here, the horizontal time scale of the oscilloscope plot can be manually adjusted by selecting the desired value. The horiztonal scale can also be manually adjusted by a two-finger pinch gesture within the horizontal axis label region of the plot.

Cursor Options

  • Horizontal Bar
    When working with multiple channels in the oscilloscope tool, this option lets you choose which channel the horizontal cursor bar will be associated with.
  • Peak Track
    The cursor may be configured to automatically move to the time of the peak value within the current waveform plot. This option allows the peak track function to be disabled, or to track the maximum or minimum peak within the waveform. A triple tap or triple click within the oscilloscope's graph will advance the peak track selection.
  • Peak Track Channel
    When working with multiple channels, this option lets you choose which channel the peak track function will apply to.
